ARLINGTON (WBAP/KLIF News) — Employees at Arlington’s General Motors assembly plant continue to strike, more than 24 hours after their union could not reach an agreement on a new labor contract.
About 5,000 employees in Arlington are affected by the work stoppage, and several of them continue to picket outside the plant’s entry gates.

GM says it has offered pay raises and investments into factories that would create around 5,000 jobs, but United Auto Workers says the first legitimate offer came very late in the process, making the strike inevitable.
Negotiations are continuing Tuesday. The last time GM workers had a strike in 2007, the strike lasted about three days.
